Chapter 1055: Chapter 507: I Don’t Understand, But That’s How Pure Deer People Are.

The tall centaurs marched in formation, with some small half deer people holding command staffs interspersed between them.

"Sorry, I don’t know what they look like, this is the last record."

After a moment of silence, Zhang Ze continued to ask, "What about the pure deer people?"

"The pure deer people are..."

Su La hadn’t finished speaking when a commotion erupted outside the capsule house.

It was noisy, as if someone was clamoring outside the village.

Zhang Ze listened for a moment and, after understanding the reason, he performed the Celestial Sect’s Hundred Facets Divine Skill, starlight dissipated, and Zhang Ze transformed into a half deer man.

Li, without needing a reminder from Zhang Ze, seamlessly transformed into a short sword that flew to Zhang Ze’s waist, and deftly collected Little Earth Immortal and Maomao into the Beast Taming Ring.

As for Little Fuji, who could go wherever she pleased, she vanished again with Brother Feng’s Black Sword; whether she was on an adventure or hiding somewhere was unknown.

In any case, there was no need to worry.

Zhang Ze checked again, confirmed that there was no mistake, adjusted his height to Lily’s standard, with an error margin of half a biscuit, and packed away the capsule house, signaling Su La to lead him over there.

"It seems like the so-called pure deer people are causing trouble, let’s go take a look."

...

Outside the village, a group of pure deer people were causing trouble.

Zhang Ze and Su La remained silent, standing on a branch and quietly observing.

Compared to the lively Little Tongmu half deer people, these pure deer people were quite sturdy and tall.

With deer heads and human bodies, they were about two meters tall, robust, with clearly defined muscles.

With bodies like inflated balloons, anyone could see they probably couldn’t reach their backsides when going to the restroom.

There were five pure deer people, lacking numerical advantage, yet their demeanor seemed to assert dominance.

The foremost pure deer person wielded a hollow, strange iron rod, producing a whistling sound as he swung it.

"Make way, I want to enter the village." The pure deer person pointed the iron rod at Su La’s grandfather, "You, I know you, I remember you’re the chief, go and quickly cook me two dishes, and bring me some fine wine."

As he spoke, he made a move to barge into the village.

Su La’s grandfather hurried to stop him, considering not just the villagers immobilized by Lord Human Emperor.

Even without the immobilized tribesmen, he saw no reason to give these deer-headed neighbors any face.

The rules set by Divine Monarch were unusually strict, yet they did not prohibit private skirmishes between tribes, even welcomed them.

This group of pure deer people often harassed Little Tongmu Village, attempting to occupy the entire forest.

However, being unable to fly and struggling to climb trees, the pure deer people were continuously defeated by the high-striking, low-striking methods of the Little Tongmu half deer people who leaped between the trees.

Only due to their insufficient numbers, unable to break out without geographical advantage, did the stalemate occur.

Today, who knows why these pure deer people suddenly wanted to enter the village to eat stir-fried dishes.

Just as Su La’s grandfather was about to order the release of arrows to shoot the pure deer people dead, the leading pure deer person took out a white jade token.

The jade token shone brilliantly, yet lacked warmth, and the character engraved in the center exuded a menacing air from inside out.

The white jade token was the symbol of the White-clothed Divine Envoy.

This group of pure deer people had completely pledged allegiance to Divine Monarch.

"Move! You dare move!" The pure deer leader threatened, brandishing the jade token.

Seeing the jade token, Su La’s grandfather signaled the tribe members not to shoot, not out of fear, but contemplating if killing these deer people would affect Lord Human Emperor’s plans.

There was no fear before, and now that Human Emperor had returned, if there was fear, his return would be for nothing.

Misinterpreting the situation, unaware of the circumstances, the pure deer leader saw Su La’s grandfather hesitating, he continued arrogantly holding the jade token up.

"The Divine Envoy admires us, has accepted our pure deer people tribe as a vassal, and today I am here on behalf of the Divine Envoy to collect the eleven celestial tax."

"You all quickly prepare, one hundred young boys, one hundred young girls, I’ll take them all away shortly."

These words were nonsensical; the entire Little Tongmu tribe totaled only about a hundred eighty people including Su La’s grandfather as a young boy couldn’t meet the numbers.

This pure deer leader was blatantly taking petty advantage under pretense.

But why them? Such an important task as the eleven tax, why didn’t the white-clothed come personally?

Where have those in white gone?

Su La’s grandfather did not respond immediately, instead, he scrutinized this old adversary, soon noticing something amiss.

The pure deer leader’s large antlers on his head appeared shriveled and dull now, crumbling as he shook his head.

Not just this leader, even those behind him showed similar symptoms.

And for these symptoms, only one possibility...

Su La’s grandfather deliberately spoke loudly, "Have you been castrated by the Divine Envoy?"

After a moment of silence, it was followed by sharp-headed fury.

"What do you mean castrated! This is medicine! Given by the Divine Envoy! Look at these muscles, look at these lines... you, you understand nothing!"

He cursed as he advanced, intending to strangle Su La’s grandfather.

However, in the next moment, dozens of turquoise jade feather arrows pinned into the soil before him.

"You’re... you’re finished! Damn it, I’ll report truthfully to the Divine Envoy now, you all wait for death!"

With a vicious glare and voice turned sharp, the pure deer leader turned and fled.

Although reaching over his head was an effort for him, he still tried to hold up the jade token high, as if doing so would shield him from arrows.
